Original Crochet Designs. Ramblings and Satire about Crochet. I have been hesitant to create a blog as personally I don’t know if it is for me or not. It is the obvious next step for someone who designs to have one, but not everything is sunshine and rainbows. I will see how it goes and if I find anyone raining on my parade (due to this public platform), then I guess I will cut and run. This blog is for my crochet and so for those ‘Storm clouds’ who hover in the background waiting to pounce, I say go wreck your havoc on someone else for a change! What you won’t find here is perfect Grammar and Spelling. So if you happen to be a Grammar and Spelling Freak, then move along. And if you happen to enjoy my post, please give it a like and follow my blog. Stalkers are welcome. Enjoy reading about crochet! It is all RELATIVE!

Sometimes when I design, I begin with an idea in my head and it tends to morph as it progresses. I may get an idea part way through, suddenly change course and the design changes. This was very much the case with this design. I had already begun to make the Tote when I decided … Continue reading Billy Thunder Crochet Tote
I refuse to count how many designs I have in progress at present. Surely a girl CAN'T have too many! I truly must finish some of them, one day, maybe!
